Overview

The Drudges are an enemy group that appear in Night Ward. They, like many myths regarding reapers and ferrymen, are tasked with shepherding the dead. They deal in wax currencies, which, to some extent has influenced their appearances.

Enemy Types

Minions

Hooded Lantern

Hooded Lantern

The Drudges' Hooded Lanterns are powered by the wax of souls which they collect and use as currency. This torch flickers and floats before you, moving at the whim of the Taskmasters who control the Drudges' hierarchy.

Patrolman

Patrolman

In the Night Ward the Drudge Patrolmen are the embodiment of the authority and law of the Taskmaster's Office. Some souls try to resist their transition from one world to the next, while outsiders are always trafficking in stolen souls. It is the Patrolman's job to ensure that operations in Night Ward move smoothly, and take care of any complications that might arise.

Spirit Guide

Spirit Guide

This creature's grisly appearance is not unlike a hundred different descriptions of the grim reaper or the ferryman. Indeed, a spirit guide's existence is devoted to the ushering of souls from one world to the next. They do so with mechanical efficiency and enthusiasm, as their reward for a job well done is a payment in wax, which keeps their spirit candle burning, if only long enough to find another soul in need of guidance to the next world.
